La Habana

Description: I wanted to recreate a Havana style interior, with an emphasis on the feel of comfort despite the run-down condition of the environment. My favourite part of this project was lighting the scene and setting the mood. I like interior images with a strong, direct light source. I wanted hard sunlight in my scene, which in contrast produces soft, bounced light; I used white bounce cards to lighten areas that were too dark. The shoes needed an extra light to make them more noticeable.
